The document discusses the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and its implementation in Australia and RiskAssess software. Key points include:
- GHS is an internationally agreed system for classifying chemicals and standardizing hazard communication.
- It includes physical, health and environmental hazard classification and standardized labeling, pictograms and safety data sheets.
- RiskAssess software has added a GHS classification database drawing from ECHA and applying GHS rules to over 1000 pure chemicals and common solutions. The database and labeling system are continually being updated.
During the July OFFSHC, we were presented a great overview of the final rule published by OSHA to align the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). Jorge Delucca, OSHA CAS, provided the OSHA GHS Overview (click the link to view). He discussed the implementation dates, GHS Hazard Classifications, Safety Data Sheet changes and GHS labeling. Mr. Delucca also discussed the other standards that will be affected and current litigation related to the ruling. More information is available at http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html.

2. GHS
Internationally agreed system (UN, esp. Europe)
• Classification of
- physical hazards, e.g. flammability
- health hazards, e.g. carcinogenicity
- environmental hazards, e.g. acute aquatic toxicity
• Labelling with
- 9 new hazard pictograms
- signal words
- hazard statements
- precautionary statements
• Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) with
- updated & more extensive information
Replaces “Hazardous Substances” and MSDSs by 1/1/17
(except VIC and WA, since no Work Health Safety Act yet)
3. Literature
• The Purple Book
“Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS)” 561pp, 3.2MB download as pdf
- official text, Australia using Rev. 3 (2009), but Rev. 6 (2015) latest
• The Companion Guide
“Understanding the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)” 89pp, 0.9MB download as pdf
- easy-to-read summary and learning tool, from UNITAR website
www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au
Go to “WHS information” then “Hazardous chemicals” then “GHS” and
download from linked UNECE site
www.unece.org
Our Work/Transport/Dangerous Goods: “GHS official text and corrigenda”
GHS (Rev. 6) 2015 [one document] or GHS (Rev. 3) 2009 [in pieces]
6. Health Hazards
Acute Toxicity
Skin Corrosion/Irritation
Serious Eye Damage/Eye Irritation
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization
Germ Cell Mutagenicity
Carcinogenicity
Reproductive Toxicology
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Single Exposure
Specific Target Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure
Aspiration Toxicity
7. Environmental Hazards
Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment
• Acute aquatic toxicity
• Chronic aquatic toxicity
- Bioaccumulation potential
- Rapid degradability
Hazardous to the Ozone Layer
(excluded from legislation!)
8. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
Category Criteria
1 Flash point <23°C and initial boiling point <35°C
2 Flash point <23°C and initial boiling point >35°C
3 Flash point 23-60°C
4 Flash point 60-93°C
Roughly same as DG “Packaging groups”+ “Combustible”
Smaller category numbers worse
9. Label for original container
Product identifier (e.g. name)
Proper shipping name & UN Number (if Dangerous Good)
Name, address and phone number of Australian importer or manufacturer
Identity and proportions, if a mixture
Signal word e.g. Danger or Warning
Hazard Statement
Hazard Pictogram
Precautionary Statements
Any other information, e.g. first aid & emergency procedures
Expiry date of the chemical, if applicable
10.
11.
12. Label for a
“Decanted or transferred hazardous chemical”
“must, at a minimum, be written in English and include the following:
• the product identifier, and
• a hazard pictogram or hazard statement consistent with the correct
classification of the chemical”
Guidelines for minimum text and pictogram size:
Volume Text Pictogram
< 500 mL 2.5 mm 15 mm
500 mL to 5 L 3 mm 20 mm
[Safe Work Australia “Labelling of Workplace Hazardous Chemicals Code of
Practice” March 2015, adopted in each juridiction]
RiskAssess follows the Code of Practice for labelling!
13. HSIS
Hazardous Substances Information System
www.hsis.safeworkaustralia.gov.au
WHS information/Hazardous chemicals/GHS
download “GHS Hazardous Chemical Information List”
which is “a work in progress” (last update Dec 2015)
Provides recent information on classification and labelling
No solution information
Clumsy to use, due to need to translate codes
15. Solutions
Experimental data available only for common industrial
chemicals (e.g. NaOH)
Otherwise, a solution is regarded as mixture, with water as
an inert diluent.
GHS rules for mixtures apply.
See
http:// www.riskassess.com.au/docsGHSdataSolutions.pdf/
for a summary of the process
16. RiskAssess data
Pure chemicals (>1000)
ECHA data “Harmonised classification”, if available
If not, most common classification (more conservative, if two)
Solutions (>1000)
ECHA data “Specific concentration limits”, if available.
If not, application of GHS rules for mixtures to ECHA data for
pure chemical
RiskAssess data updated as ECHA updates!
RiskAssess data may not agree with
• data from other sources, or
• old data.
17. New developments in RiskAssess
January 2016
GHS data added to chemical database for >1000 pure
substances and for their most common solutions
May 2016
GHS labelling system added.
Simple and fast
Continually updating data, e.g. borax
Adding extra features in response to user requests
e.g. part-sheet label printing
Everything also added to Student RiskAssess + PINs!
